Highlander
Andy was a fully qualified electrician for nearly 20 years before he decided to join a local amateur dramatics club in his village.
From there, he fell in love with it and managed to get an acting role in season 2 of Outlander. Little did he know at the time that this would change his life!
He developed a real interest and passion for Scottish history, specifically Jacobite history. This led to him eventually starting a tour company in 2017 called Highlander Tours - he now take guests from all over the world all around Scotland and shares his adventures online with his social media followers.
